Trump blames bombs for halting GOP momentum | TheHill

Some of Trump’s allies have suggested, without evidence, that the packages are part of a “false flag” operation by liberals to hurt Republicans ahead of next month’s midterm elections.

Minutes after Trump’s tweet, the Justice Department announced one person is under arrest in connection with the plot.

The president has long stoked conspiracy theories about his opponents, including that Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-Texas) father aided John F. Kennedy’s assassin, that millions of people illegally cast ballots for Clinton in the 2016 election and that Obama was not, in fact, a natural-born U.S. citizen.
